Summary

Canned peaches not only preserve fruit, but also time. The memory, the smell, the summer sun are all captured when the lid is sealed. But the past year has been rough for peaches. Some people drove for hours in search of fresh ones. In our namesake episode, Canned Peaches, we’re adventuring to a cannery that bottles up our nostalgia into glass jars full of all kinds of goodness. We’ll go fruit picking at a peach orchard, and follow the growers to the farmers’ market where we’ll join a long line of Missourians waiting for a bag of fresh peaches and talking about their peach dreams. This episode, we’re going in search of fresh fruit and discovering how canned peaches connect people through a complex food web that crosses time and space.
